Names the Penguins Should Avoid at the Deadline

Names the Penguins Should Avoid at the Deadline

February 28th, 2017 I want to preface this by saying that while I don't entertain speculation or unfounded rumors, I do enjoy reports from reputable sources. Please check out these links for our deadline rumor tracker and our trade tracker for detailed trade reporting. Now, when the time comes to pull the trigger on a deal on deadline day, here are a...
Lineup Shuffle Looming for Flyers

Lineup Shuffle Looming for Flyers

November 4th, 2016 Since the start of the season, the Philadelphia Flyers have floated around the .500 mark. Despite the middling record, there have been some bright spots, namely in specific players such as Claude Giroux, Jake Voracek and Travis Konecny. Where the Flyers have struggled is in team play — in putting together a good start and...
Nick Schultz Steamrolled, Injured

Nick Schultz Steamrolled, Injured

November 28th, 2015 In Saturday's win over the New York Rangers, the Philadelphia Flyers lost stalwart defenseman Nick Schultz. Schultz was steamrolled by 6-foot-5 defenseman Dylan McIlrath, who caught Schultz off-guard along the boards in what was a brutal, but clean hit. Schultz left the game after the first period check and at the start of the...
What Should The Flyers Do With Michael Del Zotto?

What Should The Flyers Do With Michael Del Zotto?

June 8th, 2015 On August 5th, 2014, the Philadelphia Flyers signed Michael Del Zotto to a one-year, $1.3 million contract. This happened only hours after finding out that Kimmo Timonen had been diagnosed with blood clots. The idea was that even though Del Zotto could not replace what Timonen brought to the Flyers, he was the best available option for...
It's Time For the NHL to Stop Babying Goalies

It's Time For the NHL to Stop Babying Goalies

March 4th, 2015 Not so long ago, I wrote an article detailing things the NHL should change. In that article, I spoke about the issue of goaltender interference and how it for some reason is not reviewable in the NHL. Tuesday night's game between the Flyers and Flames is prime example number one of why this play needs to be reviewable. Let's examine...
Hockey News: Nick Schultz Inks a Deal; Two Teams Top No-Trade Lists

Hockey News: Nick Schultz Inks a Deal; Two Teams Top No-Trade Lists

February 19th, 2015 Here's some news and notes from around the NHL. The Flyers re-signed defenseman Nick Schultz. Canadiens defenseman Alexei Emelin collided with the boards, left Wednesday night's game. Reports suggest that the Oilers and Jets top players' no-trade lists. Andrew Hammond made his first NHL start; defeats Canadiens....
Nick Schultz Worthy of Extension, Not Trade

Nick Schultz Worthy of Extension, Not Trade

February 6th, 2015 The idea of re-upping Nick Schultz may be an unpopular one, but that doesn't mean it's wrong. While the 32-year-old veteran is far from the shutdown defenseman that's roadblocked the Flyers since losing Chris Pronger, holding onto the journeyman second-round pick from 2000 makes more sense than trading him. More than Added...
Flyers Backcheck: Voracek 'Caps' off Second Straight Win

Flyers Backcheck: Voracek 'Caps' off Second Straight Win

January 8th, 2015 The Flyers seem to be getting the hang of this overtime thing. Jakub Voracek's overtime game-winning goal on Thursday night lifted Philadelphia to their second straight win, as the Flyers outlasted the Washington Capitals, 3-2. The route to point number 39 was an unusual one, though. But another winning edition of Flyers Backcheck is...
Flyers Looking To Extend Schultz, But Is That The Right Move?

Flyers Looking To Extend Schultz, But Is That The Right Move?

January 5th, 2015 Signed as an insurance policy in the offseason, Nick Schultz was thrust into duty after just one game this season, and he’s been a mainstay ever since. So it's logical that the Flyers want to extend the 32-year-old blueliner, something Frank Seravalli reported over the weekend. Talks set to get underway soon btwn #Flyers and Nick...
What Does Life without Luke Mean for Flyers' Blue Line?

What Does Life without Luke Mean for Flyers' Blue Line?

November 10th, 2014 If it's not one thing, it's another, or so it may seem for this season's crop of Flyers defensemen. On Sunday, the team announced they'd be without the services of their seven-year veteran for two weeks after suffering an upper-body injury in the first period of Saturday's game against Colorado. But what does this mean for Philadelphia?...
Evaluating the Oilers' Moves at the Deadline

Evaluating the Oilers' Moves at the Deadline

March 10th, 2014 The trade deadline has come and gone, and it is possible now to reflect on the moves made by the Edmonton Oilers this season. The team clearly focused on acquiring draft picks to continue to strengthen their rebuild and bring in new young talent, but are still missing second and third round picks in the upcoming draft. The Oilers...
Trade Deadline Day Leaves Oilers Defense Dangerously Thin

Trade Deadline Day Leaves Oilers Defense Dangerously Thin

March 6th, 2014 The Edmonton Oilers and Craig MacTavish may not have made the blockbuster deal at the deadline they have been so desperately trying to pull off, but it doesn't mean they sat on their hands. MacTavish, having already brought in Viktor Fasth to improve the goaltending position, wanted to recoup some of the lost draft picks from earlier...
Jeff Petry the Key to the Edmonton Oilers Defense

Jeff Petry the Key to the Edmonton Oilers Defense

October 7th, 2013 It's been no secret that the Edmonton Oilers defense has been a source of inconsistency and an area that the team has needed to upgrade. They made some strides this offseason and acquired 34 year old Edmonton native Andrew Ference to play in their top four. They also got a number of intangibles with him and a new captain in the...
Edmonton Oilers: Expectations for Justin Schultz in 2013-14

Edmonton Oilers: Expectations for Justin Schultz in 2013-14

September 19th, 2013 The 2012-13 year was one where Justin Schultz's name was much talked about throughout the league and in many media outlets. From the media circus that surrounded his "decision" to spurn the Anaheim Ducks in the summer of 2012 and sign with the Edmonton Oilers, to his assault on the AHL in his brief time there. Schultz entered his...
Who Should be the Next Oilers Captain?

Who Should be the Next Oilers Captain?

July 18th, 2013 With the departure of Shawn Horcoff, the Edmonton Oilers were left with more than a vacancy at centre. They now have no captain. Wearing the "C" the last three seasons, Horcoff was criticized by many for his play on the ice, but one thing that was rarely disputed was his commitment to team and his leadership in the dressing...
